Does Westmont charge a transfer tax?

No Village transfer tax. The Village’s taxes page lists "No tax specific to Real Estate Transfers." State and county transfer taxes are separate, so ask your closing attorney or title company how those apply to your sale.

How do I stop Village utility service when I sell?

Westmont bills water, recycling and waste hauling together. The Village’s FAQ says to call 630-981-6224 to cancel service, and buyers sign up with an online new service form. Residential accounts are billed every other month, bills are due by the 20th of the following month, and a 10% late fee applies after the due date. The Water Billing office is at 31 W. Quincy Street, 630-981-6220.

Which sanitary district bills my house?

Sanitary service isn’t on the Village bill. Per the Village FAQ, properties west of Cass Avenue are served by the Downers Grove Sanitary District (630-969-0664), and properties east of Cass Avenue by the Flagg Creek Water Reclamation District (630-323-3299). Each district bills you directly, so close that account out too.

What if I own a rental or multi-unit building in Westmont?

The Village FAQ says residential renters place a $50.00 deposit to put water and garbage service in their own name, and that multi-family water is billed at a higher rate than single-family ($12.50 versus $11.50 per thousand gallons in the Village, effective May 2024). If your tenants hold their own utility accounts, they handle their own move-out with the Village.

How much of my tax bill goes to the Village?

The Village’s taxes page lists its 2024 levy (paid in 2025) at 0.7552% of EAV, plus 0.2176% for the Westmont Library. Your full bill also includes schools and other districts.

Who handles my property taxes and deed?

Westmont is in DuPage County. The DuPage County Treasurer collects property taxes and runs the annual tax sale, the county’s township assessor directory shows your township assessor, and the DuPage County Recorder’s FAQ explains recording.

Do you buy 2 to 4 unit buildings in Westmont?

Yes. We buy 2 to 4 unit buildings as well as single-family houses, as-is. If the building has tenants, tell me about the leases when we talk, and talk to an Illinois attorney about what the leases require before you sign anything.

Should I sell to you or list with an agent?

Here’s an honest comparison:

• Listing usually wins when the house is in good shape, you have time, and you want the highest possible price.
• Selling to us may fit when the house needs work you don’t want to do, you’re behind on payments, or you need a set closing date.
• Costs. Selling directly to us means you don’t list with an agent, and we can often cover closing costs. We explain every cost up front, before you sign anything.

If listing is the better choice for your house, I’ll tell you.

What happens if you reach out to us?

1. Tell me about the house. Use the form, call or text (331) 422-3828, or email [email protected].
2. We look at the house together, in person or by phone.
3. You get a written cash offer within 24 hours of our first visit or meeting. There’s no obligation. Show it to your attorney or family before you decide.
4. If you say yes, we close on your timeline.
